<br /><::> <br />C'j <br />In <br />..; <br /> <br />CHAPTER IV <br /> <br />COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />Power generated at plants of the Upper Gunnison project would be <br />transmitted to load centers over the Colorado River Storage project trans- <br />mission system now under construction. Additions to the system would be <br />made as necessary to accommodate the additional power. <br /> <br />Recreational facilities would be provided at all of the new project <br />reservoirs as well as at the existing Taylor Park Reservoir. Plans for <br />these recreational facilities are further discussed on page 28. <br /> <br />Estimated Costs <br /> <br />Construction costs of the Upper Gunnison project are estimated at <br />$41,603,800 on the basis of reconnaissance designs and January 1963 <br />prices. The estimates include costs for additions to the Colorado Riv- <br />er Storage project system that would be required for transmission of <br />Upper Gunnison project power. ~hese are based on $100 for each kilo- <br />watt of capacity in the Upper Gunnison project. Cost estimates for var- <br />ious project features are itemized below. <br /> <br />East River Dam and Reservoir <br />Cement Creek Dam and Reservoir <br />Alder Creek Dam and Reservoir <br />Taylor Park Powerplant and switchyard <br />Almont Powerplant and switchyard <br />Taylor Canal <br />Baldwin Canal <br />Gold Basin Canal <br />Doyleville Canal <br />Hot Springs Canal <br />Parlin Flats lateral <br />Slate River Canal <br />Almont Power Canal <br />Gunnison Highline Canal <br />Lake Fork Canal <br />Laterals <br />Drains <br />Transmission facilities <br />Recreational development <br />Total <br /> <br />$5,700,000 <br />1,250,000 <br />1,500,000 <br />3,245,000 <br />3,150,000 <br />14,572,000 <br />822,000 <br />1,090,000 <br />680,000 <br />1,250,000 <br />336,000 <br />1,133,000 <br />1,960,000 <br />540,000 <br />512,500 <br />398,500 <br />531,200 <br />2,220,000 <br />713,600 <br />41,603,800 <br /> <br />Operation, maintenance, and replacement costs are estimated at <br />$178,600 annually on the basis of average wages and prices from 1960 to <br />1962. The costs include an allowance for increased operation, mainte- <br />nance, and replacement costs of the Colorado River Storage project sys- <br />tem made necessary by the Upper Gunnison project power development. ~his <br />allowance is based on $1.50 for each kilowatt of capacity in the Upper <br />Gunnison project. <br /> <br />20 <br />
